"From the restaurant server who anticipates an imminent need for napkins to the improvisational street performer capable of imitating hundreds of species, Lorrdians are capable of responding to your every expression and they are sure to make your visit to Lorrd a delight. As long as you don't play sabacc with them, that is."

The first edition notably included a chapter pertaining to the Lorrdians, a group of culturally unique Humans from the planet Lorrd in the Kanz sector. The bibliographic reference for that edition was properly written as: "Baobab, Ebenn Q3. Galactic Phrasebook and Travel Guide. Manda: Baobab Publishing, (13 GrS)."[2] The 6 ABY edition included a rather brief travel guide, offering general advice and a glimpse at cantinas, hotels, saunas, and other such facilities in Mos Eisley, a large spaceport on Tatooine. The conversation guide itself contained sections on Bocce, Huttese, Ewokese, Binary, Shyriiwook, Jawaese, Tusken, Old Gungan, Neimoidian and Sullustese. In addition to its purely linguistic content, the guide also advised on how to deal with the native speakers of those languages. The most common—and potentially problematic—situations were covered, such as how to face off with a Tusken Raider, how to shoo bothersome droids, or how to avoid tasting less-than-engaging Gungan food. The whole book was illustrated throughout with lighthearted drawings, often representing a spacer in humorous situations.[1]
